cold start surging

cold start surging
I have a 2000 f250 diesel (45k miles) and on a cold start the engine surges tremendously - definitely not normal. The cylinders do not appear to all be firing and the engine is very off-balance, but only if it is cold 50 degrees or below and it has been sitting for a long time.
I took it into the dealer and they are saying it is normal after replacing glow plug relay. I have also tried changing the batteries and fuel filter. The dealership is saying this is a problem with the oil and it is too thick and needs changed, but I only have 2500 miles on this oil change (using 10w-30).
Any Ideas?
thanks - Jim
